Jason Isbell is throwing a virtual record release concert at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville

Expert songwriter Jason Isbell celebrates new tunes in a new Nashville venue this weekend.

The Grammy Award-winning artist takes the stage Friday at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville for a virtual concert coinciding with the release of his latest LP, "Reunions." The show can be streamed at 7 p.m. CST via fans.com.

Isbell shares the acoustic bill with wife Amanda Shires, a fellow songwriter and co-founding member of modern country supergroup The Highwomen.

Free to view, the broadcast aims to collect donations for Isbell's touring crew and the MusiCares' COVID-19 relief fund.

His performance marks the first for any musician at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville, a new Germantown venue and bowling alley that was slated to open in mid-March; the Nashville-area tornadoes and COVID-19 pandemic derailed all scheduled events.

If operating at full capacity, the venue can host a 1,200-person concert, 19 lanes of bowling and serve a full food and drink menu. Nashville is home to Brooklyn Bowl's third location, following the original in New York City, which opened in 2009, and a Las Vegas bowl, opened in 2014.
